Leetcode:Largest Number详细题解

题目

Given a list of non negative integers, arrange them such that they form the largest number.

For example, given [3, 30, 34, 5, 9], the largest formed number is 9534330.

Note: The result may be very large, so you need to return a string instead of an integer.

算法分析

case1(一般情况):

[3, 30, 34, 5, 9] -> (9 -> 5 -> 34 -> 3 -> 30) -> 9534330

 

直观想法按位从高到底排序

可以很容易得到9->5的顺序,然而接下来问题来了,位相等的情况怎么办?

考虑3,30,34(数字组1)

简单考虑[3, 30],显然3->30要比30->3的值更大,即3>30的个位0;

再考虑[3, 34],(34->3) > (3->34),即34的个位4>3;

最后[30, 34],34 > 30;

所以数字组1的排序为34->3->30;

最终结果为9->5->34->3->30

 

case2(不止一位相等,多位高位相等的情况):

[824, 8247] -> (824 -> 8247) -> 8248247

 

逐一从高位到低位比较,那么第二个数字的最低位7应该与第一个数字的哪位比较呢?决定这两数顺序的不外乎,824->8247,8247->824这两种情况,直观上7应与第一个数字的第一位8比较,由于7<8,所以824->8247

 

case3 (不止一位相等,多位高位相等的情况):

[824, 82483] -> (82483 -> 824) -> 82483824

 

case4(重复数字):

[33, 333] -> 33333

一般考虑假设待比较的数字为a1a2, b1b2b3,a1b1…均为位;在重复数字的情况下

a1 a2

 ||   ||

b1 b2 b3

且b3 == a1,b1 == a2,此时可以得到b1 == a1 == a2 == b2 == b3,即全等,因此最大的比较次数为数字1的位数加数字2的位数 - 1次,该例子的情况为4次。

 

题目陷阱

case1(有数字为0):

[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0]

 

case2(数字均为0):

[0, 0]

 

算法设计

Integer类,将int按位存储,next取出下一位方法;

 1 class Integer {
 2 public:    
 3     Integer(int i);
 4 
 5     int getCount() { return count; }
 6 
 7     int next() {
 8         if (!tmp_count) {
 9             tmp_count = count;
10         }
11         return digits[--tmp_count];
12     }
13 
14 private:
15     int _i;
16     int count;
17     int tmp_count;
18     int digits[10];
19 };
20 
21 Integer::Integer(int i):count(0),tmp_count(0) {
22         // there has a great trap when i == 0
23     if (i) {
24         while (i) {
25             digits[count++] = i % 10;
26             i /= 10;
27         }
28     } else {
29         ++count;
30         digits[0] = 0;
31     }
32     tmp_count = count;
33 }    

 

比较函数cmp,按位从高到低循环比较,等于最大比较次数后退出;

 1 bool cmp(const int& a, const int& b) {
 2     Integer ia(a);
 3     Integer ib(b);
 4 
 5     int maxCmpCount = ia.getCount() + ib.getCount() - 1;
 6     int curCmpCount = 0;
 7 
 8     while (curCmpCount < maxCmpCount) {
 9          int bita = ia.next();
10         int bitb = ib.next();
11         
12         if (bita > bitb) {
13             return true;
14         }
15 
16         if (bita < bitb) {
17             return false;
18         }
19 
20         ++curCmpCount;
21     }
22 
23     return false;
24 }
